1Ekubeni ngoko uKristu eve ubunzima ngenxa yethu esenyameni, xhobani nani kwaloo ngcingane; ngokuba lowo uve ubunzima esenyameni, ukhunyulwe ekoneni;

2ukuze ixesha eliseleyo enyameni ningabi saliphilela ezinkanukweni zabantu, niliphilele ekuthandeni kukaThixo.

3Kuba lanele ixesha elidluleyo ukuba sisebenze ukuthanda kweentlanga, esahamba nje eburheletyweni, ezinkanukweni, ekutshisweni yiwayini, ezindywaleni, ezindywaleni, nasekukhonzeni izithixo, okungekhona esikweni;

4Ekubeni benithe nqa, ukuba anibaleki nabo kuloo myezo wonakeleyo, benyelisa;

5abaya kuphendula kulowo ulungele ukugweba abaphilileyo nabafileyo.

6Kuba ngenxa yoku zashunyayelwa iindaba ezilungileyo nakwabafileyo, ukuze bagwetywe ngokwabantu besenyameni, kodwa badle ubomi ngokukaThixo, bekuwo umoya.

7Ke kaloku ukuphela kweento zonke kusondele. Yibani nobungcathu, niphaphamele ukuthandaza.

8Ngaphezu kweento zonke ke yibani nothandano olunyamekileyo, ngokuba uthando luya kugubungela inkitha yezono.

9Bukani iindwendwe ngaphandle kokukrokra.

10Ngoko wonke umntu wasamkelayo isiphiwo eso, khonzanani ngaso, njengamagosa amahle obabalo lukaThixo.

11Ukuba umntu uyathetha, makathethe ngokwezihlabo zikaThixo; ukuba umntu uyalungiselela, makalungiselele ngokwasekomeleleni akuphiwa nguThixo, ukuze ezintweni zonke azukiswe uThixo ngoYesu Kristu, elulolwakhe uzuko namandla, kuse emaphakadeni asemaphakadeni. Amen.

12Zintanda, musani ukuwuthela nqa umlilo okhoyo phakathi kwenu;

13Yithini, njengoko ningamadlelane ngeentlungu zikaKristu, nivuye; ukuze, nasekutyhilekeni kobuqaqawuli bakhe, nivuye nigcoba.

14Ukuba niyangcikivwa ngenxa yegama likaKristu, ninoyolo; kuba uMoya wozuko nokaThixo uphumle phezu kwenu; ngokukokwabo uyanyeliswa, kodwa ngokukokwenu uyazukiswa.

15Makungabikho ke bani kuni uva ubunzima ngokombulali, nangokwesela, nangokomenzi wobubi, nangokovelela izinto ezimbi;

16Ukuba ke ubani uva ubunzima ngokuba engumKristu, makangadani; makamzukise ke uThixo ngenxa yoko.

17Kaloku ixesha lokuba umgwebo uqale ngendlu kaThixo. Ukuba ke luqale kuthi, koba yintoni na ukuphela kwabo bangazithobeliyo iindaba ezimnandi zikaThixo?

18Ke ukuba ilungisa lisindiswa ngenkankulu, wobonakala phi na umntu ongahloneli Thixo nomoni?

19Ngoko ke abo babuvayo ubunzima ngokokuthanda kukaThixo, mabayiyaleze kuye imiphefumlo yabo, enguMdali othembekileyo ekwenzeni okulungileyo.
